My M3P updated to 2023.2.12 and its looks like its lost everything - no mobile phone access, no driver profiles, no sat nav history, no trip meter history, its all gone. I see a few others have had this unexpected feature "upgrade" but does anyone definitively know whether it can be recovered...

Yes, we had this last weekend when loading Youtube for some entertainment whilst charging. I just put it down to one of those "quirks" that happen once and probably won't happen again. I don't know when I'm next going to need a SuC as I mostly charge at home of work.

This. Especially with a car that get regular updates and new functional improvements over OTA, but also if Tesla have designed it in such a way that we can upgrade to new MCUs in the long term if we need to.

Do you mean Wh/m ? If so, my long term average over 12600 miles is currently 300 Wh/m, but that is after making a conscious effort to get it down this year. If I drive it like I used to then I think I'd probably be well over 320.

I have a Samsung Galaxy watch and bought an app called Drive from Klokk Projects for it from the Samsung watch app store. It works prety well aside from the odd time when it forces me to sign in again, as entering the long, complex Tesla password is a pain on a small watch face. Here is a link...

I think if you push the right stalk up and hold it there too long it will switch to neutral. I hope you manged to put it back into drive again quickly, or you came to a safe stop?

Mine was an overnight fix at West Drayton SC, but I didn't have an appointment in advance. I got hit with multiple system failure as I was driving to work near Heathrow first thing, so I carefully drove on to the SC and dropped it with them. I got a text the following afternoon to say it was...

If the lights inside are able to move against the clear outer lens they may not be tightly screwed into the casing. When I took my rear lights out to fix the condensation problem I removed 3 screws in the back of the plastic casing to allow the moisture out before sealing and refitting them...

M3P8906, Not an answer that will help you, but right now I would love to take my wife on a road trip up North to Harrogate, the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors in our M3P once lockdown ends and before the summer gets too hot. I went to Uni at Leeds and apart from one weekend in York in...

I agree with jkoya. If you have the white interior then Gyeon Quartz LeatherShield is a must have. A quick wipe over with a baby wipe once a month has kept my white seats looking pristine after 6 months of daily use.

3. Interior dome lights may be switched off.Check the setting in the Lighting menu, they should be set to Auto so they switch on and off as you open and close the door.

The VIN for my M3P September delivery which had the problem a couple of weeks ago is 524xxx

When my M3P had the problem a couple of weeks ago the safety systems were disabled (Emergency breaking, stability control, etc and I think I even saw something about airbags), so I don't think the s/w fix was in 2020.4.1 Also, the notes detailing the work done for the repair say that they only...

WOT = Wide Open Throttle :D

I checked my M3P at the weekend and everything looked dry under the windscreen and I thought the seal looked flush with the glass, so I thought my car was okay. On the M25 this morning and the screen light up with all the error messages and beeps described above. I am so glad for this forum...

One of my rear lights had constant condensation and water droplets which never dried out. I decided to bite the bullet and fixed it myself after reading this thread. As I had to dry it out before sealing it, I followed the guide to remove the light and took it indoors. I then removed 3 screws...

I had the problem with water dripping through the trunk hinge bolts and into the sides of the trunk as per DavidMC above. I fixed the problem using Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure (leak/crack selaer) 60ml £7.95 from Amazon. Now I just need to find and fix the problem with water...

I switched my M3P+ from 20" OEM to 18" with Michelin CrossClimate + a couple of weeks ago. I am really enjoying them so far in the colder and wetter weather. I find them very confidence inspiring using the car in Sport Mode, coming from an X5 that was also good with the right tyres. So far...

I am insured with LV and when I informed them I was changing to winter wheels, they stated that they only needed to know if I was changing to wider wheels. LV were ok about me switching to 18" winter wheels but with the same 235 width. I am happier having spoken to them to make sure as we have...

Hi KennethS, Good question. I found it quite a bit of effort or at least it took a few attempts to get the car to recognise the new sensors. At first I just assumed that KwikFit who fitted the new tyres must not have known how to properly fit the accompanying TPMS sensors which apparently...

I bought the same set (comes with two in the bag) of these. They arrived today and I have installed one. The frunk is now much, much easier to close, and still auto-opens with the BougeRV replacement struts from Amazon. Looks and feels much more upmarket compared to OEM which always felt like...

I may be having a "slow" day, but I couldn't understand why the title of this thread was IceHoles. Until now....:D

I joined Facebook specifically just to join and use the Tesla Owners Group UK. I don't use it for any social media stuff but I do like the TOGU, as indeed I do with this TMC forum. @pgh69, you may want to consider joining and setting up just a minimal profile? I agree with the positive...

Does the OP mean that the car has been sitting on jack stands under each of the proper jacking points, or jack stands further along the underside of the car? If the jack stands were under the jack points, and using something to ensure the contact point was only the jack points, then surely that...

I swapped my own wheels this weekend and the car alarm went off as soon as it was tilted when I started to jack it up. I had to use the unlock icon on the phone app to switch the alarm off, and to make sure the car was unlocked as I swapped the wheels.

I managed to fix most of the handover problems I identified on day 1: misaligned rear doors, marks on rear door window glass, rear door rubber seal hanging down. However, I have just two problems left - some paint scraped off bumper and misaligned front trunk lid. I did ask Tesla by email...

The black Varro wheels were purchased through a very helpful owner called Gavin Wallace on the Facebook Tesla Owners Group UK. He organised a special deal with the manufacturers before they started selling the wheels in the UK. I first heard about it on this forum in the thread titled "Wheel...

I went for a set of the 18" Varro flow forged alloys as my winter wheels. They are much lighter than the stock 20" on the M3P, but as MadProff says the 18" have a greater choice of tyres compared to the 19" and they are also cheaper. The Tesla 18" wheels do not fit the larger brake calipers...

Yes KennethS, you can definitely feel a bit more resistance from them as you start to pull the trunk lid down, when the struts are at their maximum extent. However, as the lid comes down, that resistance feels less and less and by the time you are using both hands to push the lid down and...

This. As someone who commutes on the M25, this is also my experience and I have the distance set to 1 under most circumstances.

I installed the BougeRV front trunk struts from Amazon last night and they work as expected, opening the lid every time as soon as the latch is unlocked from the phone app or the Tesla "Drive" app I just installed on my Samsung Galaxy watch. They are definitely much, much better than the cheaper...

I installed the BougeRV front trunk struts from Amazon UK last night. The BougeRV ones are noticeably stronger than the cheaper lesgos ones which also came from Amazon, and they worked perfectly. They are also a few quid cheaper than when I ordered last Friday.

I agree with the recommendation on a Chipex kit. Should be colour coded to be a close match to Tesla paint, and from my past experience with front-end stone chips on BMS & Mercedes, the ways of applying the Chipex kit is much better finish than the usual touch-up paint pens. I bought a pearl...

After seeing the road rash and impact on older Model 3's in Finland and parts of North America with harsher climate, I ordered a set of the common black, easy-to-fit mudguards from Amazon whilst waiting for my M3P. Having had a previous BMW X5 40d MSport which suffered badly from grit thrown up...

Same for me. I bought the frunk struts on Friday and they would not raise the lid unless I first gave them a helping hand. I returned them on Saturday and went for the much more expensive BougeRV ones which arrive tomorrow. Amazon did remove the duff lesgos ones from sale on Friday night but...

"M6 with tight road works ... just let it do its thing!" How did it handle reduced speed limit eg from 70 down to 50 in the roadworks. Did it slow down to 50 automatically or do you need to be on the ball and change it yourself?

"there are plenty of 20" Performance cars that would buy your set of 18"s" I thought that Tesla 18" wheels can't fit on the Performance because of the larger red brake calipers? I had to buy some non OEM 18" wheels which do fit the M3 Performance to create a winter wheel setup for mine...

"Anyone any ideas??" Perhaps a local fellow Tesla owner could volunteer to come to your place and see if your replacement Rolec charger works okay with their car? That would help to narrow down the problem and also add weight to your response to Tesla that they need to seriously look at your...

Perhaps you could try setting the UMC charge to less Amps when you initially start charging with it, then gradually increase up to 10A? Maybe that would save you having to switch off everything in the house, start charging the car, and then switch the house equipment on one by one?

VW are partly responsible for the accelerated demise of the ICE and especially diesel. The depreciation on my BMW X5 was eye watering when I dumped it and traded up to the Model 3 Performance. After 5 days of Tesla ownership I should be thanking VW rather than hating them as they opened my...

Aaronalex, You should be able to edit the list using a web browser on a PC/laptop by viewing the service appointment under your Tesla account. That is what I did with mine, and the edits were saved. This was easier as trying to use the phone app I could not see many lines, whilst the web page...

Well at least that sounds more positive than the brush off that they no longer include the frunk mat even though there have been quite a few posts in the past 2 days when some complained and were given one whilst others were not. I too have placed a service call for delivery issues such as...

History should be on your Tesla account web page, near top right hand side (see ringed in red). Here is what mine shows about my one charging experience the day after collection. This was taken from my 1000 free referral miles.

Using a hairdryer to heat up the wrap also helps when carefully peeling it off.

I agree with the above sentiments. I didn't notice the missing frunk mat on my M3P+ as we were quickly ushered out of WD to make way for the next lot of cattle/owners. If they had decided to stop including the mat they should have been open and transparent about it, and not have quietly just...

I was too exited at getting a final invoice and delivery date, so I opted to completely avoid the question and just used no reference instead for the multiple £10k bank transfers I quickly executed. Doh! :oops: Thankfully, whoever reconciled bank transfers against invoices was able to work it...

I am going to give the CrossClimate + a try as well, but not for all year round. I am aiming to use them from say Oct-March and the 20" OEMs from March to Oct, maybe 6 months each. I am just waiting on whether I can get a set of the 18" wheels to fit M3P+. Having read the detailed feedback...

Just received notification this evening of final invoice in my account for a Performance Model 3 in white/white which I ordered on 7 August. The invoice says the VIN is 524xxx and the expected delivery date is 8 Oct at West Drayton/Heathrow. No hidden VIN despite checking 000's times over the...

Wow, that garage floor is stunning! Thanks for providing a brief distraction for those of us repeatedly pressing refresh on the Tesla Account screen in vain, desperately hoping to see a VIN assigned in the absence of any further info on our orders....

I haven't received my car yet, but when I spoke to someone on the phone I asked about putting the car on my private plate for which I have the retention docs, but they flat our refused and said I'd have to sort everything out myself afterwards. Perhaps the level of helpfulness does depend on...
